Job description

Ready to grow your career in finance with a thriving, supportive company? We’re on the lookout for a full-time, permanent Accounts Assistant to join our skilled, motivated team based on Auckland’s North Shore.

As part of Green by Nature — a leading Australian company specialising in greenspace and facilities maintenance — you’ll play a vital role in ensuring our financial operations run smoothly and efficiently.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Reporting to our NZ Finance Manager, you’ll take ownership of the AP function while supporting the wider finance team. Your responsibilities will include:
• Managing invoices, coding, reconciliations, and processing weekly and 20th payment runs.
• Maintaining accurate supplier records, handling queries, and conducting regular reviews.
• Processing monthly journals and ensuring financial data is accurate and up to date.
• Providing training to internal teams on finance processes and systems.
• Assisting with administrative tasks such as mail, banking, and record organisation.
• Ensuring transactions meet legal and internal requirements, supporting audits, and contributing to month-end processes.

What We’re Looking For

We’re after someone who’s ready to hit the ground running with a positive, proactive approach and a strong eye for detail. To succeed in this role, you’ll bring:

• A relevant tertiary qualification — recent grads welcome!
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for collaboration across the business.
• Intermediate Microsoft Office skills, especially Excel.
• Experience with accounting software — SAP preferred.
• Strong time management skills to handle workload without sacrificing accuracy.
• Adaptability and ability to reprioritise tasks on the fly.
• A team-focused mindset, great work ethic, and sense of humour — fitting into our supportive, collaborative team.
• Willingness to learn tools like VBA for Excel or similar skills.
• Dependability, cooperation, and focus on building strong working relationships.
• Full driver’s licence.

Why join us?

You’ll be joining a hardworking yet fun team, motivated to work hard while enjoying a laugh. We provide a laptop and work phone for professional and personal use, along with an annual wellness benefit. You’ll have access to ongoing development opportunities, including support for CA/CPA qualifications, and flexible working options.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to kickstart or advance their career within a passionate and supportive team that loves what they do.
